On or about April 13, 2020, Ian Patterson, the Chief Operations Officer of AVX resigned from his position. On May 5, 2020, Mr. Patterson filed an action in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, State of California, against the Company, et al. The complaint alleges claims including discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation and various other provisions of the California Labor Code, and various other claims under California state law. The complaint seeks unspecified economic and non-economic losses, as well as attorneys’ fees. In response to the Complaint, defendants filed a motion to compel arbitration asking the court to order Plaintiff to submit his claims to binding individual arbitration based on an arbitration agreement signed by Plaintiff at the outset of his employment. The motion was unfortunately denied, and in response, defendants filed an appeal. The appeal was also denied. Trial for this matter is not set, nor has discovery been conducted. AVX intends to vigorously contest this matter. Further, AVX disputes that the other defendants are proper parties to the litigation. However, litigation and investigations are inherently uncertain, but the outcome could have a material impact on the Company.
